Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show

grammar fascist writes "Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show, a science fiction / fantasy webzine, went online just yesterday. Card, the editor-in-chief, has stayed true to his ideals: quality stories, author's rights, and trust in people's honesty. New stories are released quarterly, with new column installments added monthly to the current issue. New art is created for each story. There isn't even an attempt at draconian content control. Writers and artists give exclusive rights for one year - after that, limited rights. Card wants your stories and art, not your copyrights. I've finished the first issue now, and the stories are great. "Eviction Notice" made me cry, and I laughed out loud at "Loose in the Wires." I paid my $2.50 initially to support the business model, but the stories themselves are worth it."

    Then why waste the energy, if not simply to shit in the proverbial punch bowl? Frankly, Mr. Coward, no one cares what you think.

    What an open-minded, 21-st century liberal view you have! Very tolerant too!

    I care what he or she thinks. I care what you think, too. But when you think that nobody cares whatever he or she thinks, then I know you are wrong. Because I care.

    You do realize most of the anti-paypal stuff out there is just people bitching and complaining because they were attempting some sort of fraud and paypal caught them on it. There are a few valid complaints yes, but I've never heard of anyone without an account paying through them having any problems. They havn't had any breaches in security that would cause your CC data to be worrysome.

    I like many others got their paypal frozen. No valid explanation, no correction, no fraud. Granted I just created another account using a more verbose form of my e-mail address but regardless there are people who bitching who have just cause... hince that class action lawsuit.

    How true. The best way to show your respect for someone is to ignore them. I guess Bush was just showing everyone how much he respects poor people and black people with his response to Katrina. (Yes, I am specifically referring to HIS response. Getting off your ass and returning from vacation in a time of crisis is the sign of someone who gives a shit.)

    (If you're just interested in useless symbols, take a college English class.)

    Lemme take a wild guess...you must be single. Heads of state just walking around tripping in the mud can for some odd reason be a great comfort. Little cut out cardboard hearts can spark a small tear. What is a useless symbol to one is a huge neon sign to another.
